Other Comments
On sept. 23, I participated in a conversation with UrbanSitter COO Sarah Rose and usability specialist Sean Marrer, where I heard positive talk about improving the accessibility of the app followed by the urbansitter.com website. Unfortunately, there was no commitment to a specific time frame for this accessibility. I urge all blind babysitters and parents to engage in consistent, strenuous advocacy with this company until we get results.

Accessibility Comments
As the stay-at-home father of my 8-month-old daughter, I am deeply disappointed to report that, at this time, this app is not accessible enough for a blind person to use with VoiceOver. It is strewn with unlabeled buttons and inaccessible controls for selecting dates, times, etc. I was unable to complete a task as essential as posting a babysitting job.
